I think it's a pretty bad ass song. The fact that he took that song and made it something totally different is awesome to me.
And the fact that the youtube video was a tribute to his life and you called is gay shows how much of a man you really are.

Israel "Iz" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (May 20, 1959 ? June 26, 1997) (pronounced [ka-maka-vi-vo-ole]) was an Hawaiian musician.
He became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993 with his medley of "Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World", which was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and commercials.
From childhood, his family called Israel by his Hawaiian middle name, Kaʻanoʻi, the "beloved one". His name would later become the title name of his first solo album, Kaʻanoʻi, and also foretells the greatness of this "cherished one". It is interesting to note here that part of his name, anoʻi, when simplified to noʻi may be a contraction of the Hawaiian word, nohi. Nohi means "bright-colored, vivid, as the rainbow" (see Hawaiian Dictionary, Pukui and Elbert). Nohi, rainbow, beloved one, and cherished one are powerful symbols in his life. Iz's recording of the song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" would become renowned throughout the world and continues to garner high acclaim. The song has come to be known as Izʻs "signature song", the most renowned of all his songs.
Kamakawiwo`ole was nicknamed "The Gentle Giant" by his admirers. He was described as always cheerful and positive, and he was best known for his love of the land and of the people of Hawaiʻi. Through his consummate ukulele playing and incorporation of other idioms (such as jazz and reggae), Iz remains one of the major influences in Hawaiian music over the last 15 years.

I want to go back to little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawai`i
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines
That I used to know long ago
I can hear the old guitars playing
On the beach at H?naunau
I can hear the old Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no k?ua i ka hale welakahao
It won't be long till my ship will be sailing
Back to Kona
A grand old place
That's always fair to see, you're telling me
I'm just a little Hawaiian
A homesick island boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawai`i
Where the humuhumunukunuku?pua`a
Go swimming by
reminds me of laurel and hardy doing this in one of their movies....man,they were the shit......:grins:

I'm mesmorized by this animation.:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:
The Boys: I actually like this version of the song a lot. I was married in the Bahamas and this song was played every time there was a wedding procession so I heard it about 25 times in a week.....but I still like it.
I concur!!
GREAT song
I've got a long term relationship, the gay comments don't bother me a bit! :00hour
